Too Faced Dream Queen Palette – Review

If there is one brand I’m always (I mean, with no exceptions!) purchasing a palette from during the holiday season it’s Too Faced. Not only I love their formulas, but they always get me with the cutest packaging. I still use last year’s palette on a regular, and I was thrilled to have a sneak peek on the 2018 Sephora Holiday Exclusive, Too Faced Dream Queen Palette. In this post, I review and swatch this cute eyeshadow and makeup set so you can immediately put it on your wishlist. I’m not joking, it’s a must-have holiday 2018 beauty launch!

Promise

“Christmas dreams come true with this limited edition makeup collection. Give as an amazing gift or keep the holiday cheer for yourself!”

Pigmentation

While some shades remind me of Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette, the quality of some eyeshadows is not the same. While the majority of shadows perform great (including both matte and satins), you really need to use a glitter glue or a setting spray to set shimmer shades. Face products are a bit powdery, but they certainly work. I actually adore the shade of a highlighter, even though I usually stay away from gold undertone highlighters.

The Best Part

The value of this holiday gift set is incredible! Basically, you are getting a full face of makeup (excluding foundation, concealer, and brow products) for the price of one palette. I mean, my favorite mascara and setting spray included? Plus, the cutest makeup bag? You can’t beat that!

The Worst Part

This palette might sound boring for people who prefer vivid color palettes. The blushes a bit powdery, but look great on my pale skin. Some of the pinks look exactly the same when applied on the lid. The only real “no” in this set is that I don’t like the scent of a lip gloss at all. Otherwise, it’s not bad at all!

Conclusion

Maybe I’m biased because I love all things cute, but I really love this set. If you have a lot of Too Faced palettes already or last year’s palette, you might skip on this one. But definitely pick it up as a gift for someone special who has a smaller makeup collection or loves all things pink and cute.
